Reviews Everlast Gym Leigh Fitness Centre

I’ve seen a decline in the running and maintenance of this gym. Buckets are being used in the men’s toilets under the urinals for leaking. I’m told by staff that over three hundred thousand is needed to replace all of the old equipment and machines, and to fix the broken air conditioning, music system, two unusable spa pools etc but they don’t have the money. There are no full-time cleaners so the gym is dirty.

My first day in a gym class I got a technique wrong and a member of staff shouted at me which humiliated me in front of everyone.

I will never go back to this gym due to the level of unprofessionalism.

"Fight club" trainer needs people skills training!
I did the "fight club" gym class, and in my opinion, and many other peoples, the trainer is overly dominating, bigoted, and egotistical, wanting to show authority in controlling everyone in perfect synchronisation, and getting noticeably angry, using verbal abuse and disapproving nasty looks, when us gym members can't keep up, or get a move wrong.
A class supposed to be fun, enjoyable, but her class was too dominating, commanding. It reminded me of army boot camp.
My left leg was forward and others were right leg.
She stopped the class routine, shouting directly at me to make sure I had the correct leg forward.
No need to shout belittling me. It isn't SAS training. Does it really matter if I'm a little bit slower in keeping up? Or if l've put the wrong leg forward? I'm new to this.
I felt embarrassed being treated as if I'm a misbehaving child. Very disconcerting.
It's as if the trainer assumes that I should be able to keep up, and have the fitness level required.
She doesn't know me, or my health conditions, or fitness training experience, so chill out, back off and don't be so aggressively rude, and unprofessional.
I like the idea of the class, and the trainer is passionate, but overly so. Dare I say it - Narcissistic attention seeking bully.
The class was conducted in a way that left me feeling emotionally drained, threatened, not good enough, uncomfortable, and intimidated. It was a distressing experience, and nothing positive about it.
I didn't attend any more of her classes even though I remained a member of the gym for the rest of the disappointing month.
There are some horror stories about this trainers conduct towards some members.
As a member, whatever you do, do not be positive, don't have fun, or laugh/smile in class, that is not allowed at Everlast. And you maybe arrested for having a humorous private banter joke.
Members (Friends) support friends. We have zero loyalty to a failing company that violates members, and ex-members decency, with lies, and psychological abuse.
As such Everlast in Leigh have lost many members.

Equipment is old and knackered. Was hit in the face with faulty bit of kit glasses were broken and staff/management not even bothered. No one from head office even checked up to see if I was ok. Was told I would be compensated for my broken glasses which hasn’t happened. If I wasn’t tied in to a contract with them I would have left. Terrible gym.

I was “suspected” of a crime on Everlast Leigh property but yet no definition, no details of what the alleged crime is, no witnesses, and no one reporting a crime, no one complaining of a crime, no CCTV footage of a crime. Zero proof shown.
But yet a letter was sent to me from head office stating that a “suspected” crime had been committed and my membership is revoked claiming that I am a security risk.
How bizarre. I am not bothered that I am no longer member because the gym is a deteriorating mess but being accused of something with no definition that clearly never happened is ridiculous.

Leigh gym is awful, it’s badly laid out with multiple broken equipment and workout machines.
The air conditioning, ventilation hasn’t worked in months with zero signs of repair, and so as a result the gym is really sweaty, smelly and stuffy. Far too hot in the class studio with zero windows and no AC.
Too many people are getting free day passes so over crowded. This makes the gym look popular busy with members when in fact they’re not paying members. Worst gym in the area by far.

A member of staff took me to one side and said that I was a D***Head.
Said simply because I had a humorous joke in class that other members found funny and laughed. It was just humorous funny banter.
Very unprofessional of the class trainer and other people have also complained that you are not allowed to have fun in this gym.

Leigh Everlast Gym FACTS -
No air conditioning for several months.
Too hot to workout and in classes.
Music far too loud.
Boarded up spa pools for two years out of use.
Several out of use machines for months.
Old outdated equipment.
Dust and filth everywhere. Needs a deep clean.
Buckets under urinals to catch leaks for weeks.
Faulty showers.
Rude staff.
Management don’t care.
Nothing is being done to improve this deteriorating gym.

I've been a member for 16 years and always loved this gym for it's spaciousness, free weights and steam room. Equipment does however break and doesn't always get fixed straight away. This has never bothered me as I use mainly free weights.
The deal breaker at the moment is the fact the air conditioning has not been fixed and unlikely to be fixed in the near future. Staff member discreetly informed me so. With the recent warm to hot whether it can bug me, especially when I go from a long day at work. It would be nice to feel cool when working out. This is my only complaint but I'm started to feel Ike I want to go elsewhere due to it. Such a shame as l've been a loyal member for so long. They don't seem to care about that loyal unfortunately.

Leigh gym staff need to realise that the members pay their wages. Without us they have no job.
The staff are so rude, gossiping, spreading lies, for their own entertainment. So unprofessional.
Staff and management need to focus on cleaning this dirty gym and maintaining the multitude faulty machines and do public relations staff training.
I’ve cancelled my payment.

Anytime you go this gym there's always a machine or two broken and they take a few months to be repaired.

Leigh Everlast cannot be trusted because for years, when the time comes to renew my membership they have been promising a renovation and all new modern equipment/machines. Instead we are left with old tattered beyond repair faulty old equipment and machines. Very disappointing. Even the air-conditioning doesn’t work and hasn’t for several months.
They boarded up the two spa pools years ago and then claimed it was part of a renovation. Buckets are being used in the toilets for numerous leaks. There is no cleaning equipment and the place is covered in dust. For six months, I tried to cancel my membership but they said I was in contract. Luckily, my membership has since expired. I will not be renewing.

Everlast Gym Leigh
Four days without ruining water, but yet they remained open with no toilets, no showers, no cleaning equipment. Air conditioning hasn’t worked for several months. It is too hot to do classes. Buckets are being used in the men’s washroom to catch leaking urinals for weeks. Multiple equipment has been broken out of use for several months without repair/replacement. Working machines need maintenance - new grips, new wires, replacement of broken seats on the bikes and the water holders, cleaning etc
jacuzzis are boarded up for the last two years. Rude staff.
I have nothing positive to say, and the membership fee is a waste of money.

I once really rated this gym but has gone down hill, machines are regularly out of use for long periods of time, and the ones that are in use aren't well maintained. An example of this are the bikes where the seats have massive cracks in them and every single one has a broken waterbottle holder.
There's been no new equipment in a very long time and is being left behind by more modern gyms. The men's toilets have also been broken for months with buckets just being left under urinals instead of paying to fix the problem.
The air-conditioning hasn't been working in months with them just holding doors open and putting one big fan in the entire gym hoping that will be sufficient for gym which is definitely not. I feel like my negatives are coming from either management refusing to pay have a better upkeep or the gym having had severe budget cuts.
The gym is always very busy, but this is because they’re giving out free memberships monthly.

Been a member here on and off
Over the past few years. There's always some equipment that is out of use and the 2 jacuzzis haven't been working for the past few years. The worse thing is the men's changing rooms.
Showers are untidy, plastic bottles and chewing gum left in the shower cubicles. You're lucky if there is any shampoo / shower gel available. I won't even mention the toilets !! The changing rooms are in desperate need of an update.

There are some very bad members of staff at this gym.
As a male member I am discriminated against. I was walking from the studio downstairs and a female member was in front of me, she stopped and turned to look at me and wanted to engage in conversation with me so we stood in the corridor chatting at her request.
A member of staff walked past and gave me the most disgusting dirty look as if I’ve done something wrong.
The member of staff later complaint to management that I was bothering women.
But yet the woman I was talking to wanted to talk to me and made no complaint as she had no reason to do so. We have since become friends and the member of staff continues to do this to other male members of the gym.

At Everlast in Leigh, I was not allowed to smile.
I smiled, then a staff member, with a negative agenda, falsely accuse me of looking at, and laughing at a particular gym member who wasn’t even in the gym at the time when I smiled.
Firstly, there is a big difference between smiling to laughing. Secondly, the person I was falsely accused of laughing at wasn’t even there. The fact that the staff member maliciously accused me of laughing at a person who wasn’t there, means that the staff member is lying, and they think there is a reason for laughing at that member. The false reason is because the person is overweight.
Very strange uncomfortable staff behaviour screaming and shouting lies. So clearly the staff member is at fault, therefore I do not recommend this gym at all.

Manipulation is when they blame members of the gym to others for members reactions to their (staff) toxic behaviour, as if you are the problem, but yet they (staff) never talk about the disrespect, bullying, gaslighting, lies, smear campaign etc that triggered you.
This is the reason that Everlast Leigh gym has failed as a company. Bad staff.

Everlast Leigh tried to cover up the negative facts with more lies and fake positive Google feedbacks.
The staff and their member friends committed crimes against members. Legal action was taken and thousands in compensation have been paid out. They will never admit this.
This gym has the worst staff, and unpleasant atmosphere I have ever encountered.
I’ve seen staff shouting and screaming at members being very threatening. The toxic gossip is horrendous.
Added to this the whirlpools are boarded up out of use and the gym equipment is very old and in some cases dangerous.
Is it any wonder they are giving free monthly memberships away. No one in their right mind would pay for a membership.

A member of staff at this Leigh branch of Everlast was very disrespectful and rude to me as I did one of my daily prayers.
This was an insult to the (deleted by the administrator). As such, and with me being part of the Muslim community, I speak for all when I say we are all outraged.

Leigh Everlast are desperately doing damage control by flooding Google review with fake positive reviews. They have lost tens of thousands of pounds in revenue due to mismanagement, bad staff, abuse of members, negligence, not maintaining equipment Etc.
This is why they are also offering free two months membership February/March to get people into the gym to try and make numbers up for the large number of people that have cancelled their memberships.
AVOID this toxic failed gym.

My local Everlast in Leigh is awful, showers mouldy, equipment broken and air conditioning always on heat because the reception staff are cold!

I noticed in January that Everlast Gym in Leigh was offering free membership for the full month. I thought it was an unusual time of year for a gym to be offering free membership because with New Year’s resolutions people all gyms are busy in January, so no need to give free membership I thought.
I read bad reviews online so I declined the offer.
Then they offered February and March for free and pay nothing until April. Again very unusual promotion because If the gym was already successful then why give two free months at once? Out of curiosity this time I took them up on the offer.
My conclusion- DON’T BOTHER!!! I’ve been bothered with text, emails, phone calls. This is one desperate gym for paying members.

Over the past few days Everlast in Leigh has had over 15 negative feedbacks removed from Google reviews to up their positive ratings. Some of these negative reviews date back three years but most are recent.
They are now flooding Google with fake positive feedbacks in their desperation for damage control to scam the public to join the gym.
The fact is they are going out of business due to rude staff, multiple faulty old equipment, lack of cleanliness etc
I am a former employee and I left by my own choice so I am not bitter with them, but I think it is wrong of them to scam the public with lies of positive feedbacks, so I am posting the truth.
Avoid this gym it’s bad.

As a new member taking the free February offer, I recently did the Boxing fit class or Combat class and I found it to be highly unprofessional.
The trainer clearly has no idea what they are doing and I question if they’re even qualified to instruct a class.
Also the trainer isn’t inspiring for many reasons. Surely to be an instructor in a fitness class, you yourself have to be fit and healthy. Not exactly a good roll model advertisement for the gym.

I won’t be joining as a paying member.

I thought it unusual that the gym was giving free membership throughout January and now I know why.
I took the offer of free membership and instead of doing the full month, two days was enough for me.
It was like going back to the 1980s with second rate equipment, most of which doesn’t work. The place is a dump.

As an employee of this Leigh gym for years, I can no longer remain silent over this. January/February have always been our busiest months for new paying members. However this year there has been very little to no interest, & the established paying members are leaving the gym in large numbers. Therefore Everlast has been forced for the first time to give free memberships away for the whole of January & February. This gives a false impression that the gym is busy with paying members when in reality it is not. To reinforce this false impression they are posting daily fake positive feedbacks on Google in which has never happened before. I myself was asked to post positive feedback on Google but I have refused, so I am telling the public the truth.
The fact is the machines/equipment are below standard, old and large numbers are out of order which don’t get replaced/repaired. When signing up for the free month you are signing a 12 months contract and Everlast are sending out legal letters for the full 12 month payment. The work and membership gym environment has become very bad, and therefore I am leaving.

I’ve been a member of this gym for 15 years and over the last three years there has been a heavy decline with faulty gym equipment not getting replaced/repaired, rude staff, no cleaning equipment, no cleaners so the place is a mess. If you complain, you are just verbally abused.
And I’ve noticed the large number of fake positive feedbacks on Google, 12 within four days and that has never happened before. This is their last ditch attempt for damage control, plus the fact they are giving free membership away throughout January and February in desperation to attract people, to make the gym look busy.
I am deeply disappointed in the gym and it is not worth the membership fee. I’ve now cancelled my membership after 15 years.

I took advantage of the free one months membership. I thought it strange that they were giving free membership away in January which would normally be the most busiest month for new members paying to join.
Having been a member for over two weeks, I can see why they are giving membership away for free.
A large number of the equipment doesn’t even work. The place needs a deep clean. And some of the staff are extremely rude.
Luckily, I didn’t sign a 12 month contract.
I won’t be continuing with my free months membership and I do not recommend this gym at all.

I’ve been a member of this gym in Leigh for several months. I’ve patiently watched and waited to see the large number of faulty machines get repaired, in that time not one of them has been repaired. There are signs on them saying out of order.
Why am I paying a membership and not getting the full membership benefits when so many machines are fault? This is not acceptable.
